Not sure what you mean. There are special programs that allow the OS/390 instruction set to run on RISC and INTEL based machines. The OS/390 or now called Z/OS has a Posix compliant kernel that allows it to run UNIX apps. Also, the mainframe can be partitioned into a LINUX server. Before I was an Oracle and UNIX, NT guy I was a mainfame heavy. I know of several shops that run Oracle on the OS/390 server but not sure about Financials.
